Synopsis

With previously unseen work, Bridget Riley: From Life presents a dramatic new account of the role of life drawing in the artist's career. Best known for her large scale abstract works, Riley writes candidly about how the disciplines of observation and drawing were instilled in her at art school, and paved the way for her professional career.
